The sun shone and dispelled a lot of fog.

The two knight hundred-man teams who took the lead in crossing the river galloped towards Da Shou Mountain one after the other after a little tidying up, and the situation on the south bank was fully controlled, and Kuai Tao calmly landed on the shore.

The defenders of Xiangyang Pier retreated too quickly, and the two sides are still in a state of harmony.

Kuai Tao was slightly disappointed, but he couldn't help but sigh: "Wen Zhongye is worthy of being the general of Jingzhou, this is premeditated." ”

Deng Xiaoman was holding a helmet in his hand, and he was drinking a cup of warm tea in the other hand, and he laughed when he heard it: "I think he is old and his courage is declining." ”

"No, you can't underestimate the heroes of the world."

Kuai Tao glanced left and right, after all, he was a little helpless, and looked at a battalion governor: "Divide the troops to search for the traces of the Rui Beast, so as to clarify the misunderstanding, so as not to misunderstand the intentions of our army by friendly troops." ”

"Whoa."

The camp governor was weak to answer, and he was very reluctant.

Kuai Tao groaned, suddenly heard the exclamation and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and followed the prestige, he saw several military officials pointing in the direction of due south.

There, there was a white line in the dark blue of the sky, but thick black smoke could be seen billowing up.

It's not wolf smoke.

The nature of the fireworks was determined in an instant, and he quickly reacted that there was a problem with the stargazing tower.

Deng Xiaoman drank all the water in the cup, and there was some unbelievable absurdity on his face: "There are really thieves?" Now it's okay, let's see how Wenpin explains! ”

The garrison and security work of the Stargazing Tower are all in charge of the defenders of Xiangyang!

Kuai Tao nodded slowly, and a smile finally bloomed on his stiff face: "Okay, quickly inform the general and send troops to encircle Xiangyang!" ”

At this moment, the stargazing tower had been devoured by the fire demon, and Meng Guangguan had his hair scattered on the ground, looking at the fire in front of him with a dull expression.

The surrounding scholars, students, and guards of the Stargazing Tower also stared at the blazing flames, like roaring fire demons in the sky.

Some of them had their faces blackened during the extinguishing of the fire, some of their clothes were soaked with water, some showed signs of burning, and some were burned and suffocated on the ground for treatment.

I couldn't hear the sound of horses' hooves outside, and my ears were the flames of the stargazing tower on the top of the mountain burning, swaying, and whistling.

The fireworks in the stargazing tower spread far away, so much so that Zhang Wen and Xu Zuo in the south gate tower of Dengcheng could see the signs.

Zhang Wen always looked calm and unhurried, as if it was none of his business.

Xu Zuo's patience was poor, and his face was happy: "If it is burned clean, there will be only a crowd left." In the afternoon, they can all move to the north shore without worrying about the countermeasures of the imperial court. ”

Zhang Wen still didn't answer this, just glanced at Xu Zuo, Xu Zuo reacted and laughed, and asked instead: "Mr. Huishu, the stargazing tower was burned by thieves today, what explanation should Wen Ping make?" ”

Zhang Wen shook his head: "If you are a person, you will definitely shirk ignorance, and the court will intervene in a thorough investigation." It seems to me that this must have been the work of the spies of the enemy. First, he lured Rui Beast to go to Hannan to play, and then burned the stargazing tower inside and outside, intending to intensify and provoke the two armies of Nanyang and Xiangyang. ”

The spy of the enemy country is so powerful and incompetent.

Xu Zuo just grinned, raised his eyebrows and looked far and near.

Now the biggest thought of the imperial court is to take back Nanyang, before this goal is achieved, the imperial court is like a cow with a nose ring, no matter how fierce and stubborn, it must bow its head and eat grass.

Compared with Nanyang, Wenpin, Stargazing Tower, or anything else could not shake the court's belief in receiving Nanyang.

Nanyang is the lifeblood of the imperial court; It is the pivot that turns the world around.

Previously, the Northern Mansion and the Imperial Court were opened, and the Northern Mansion occupied a seventy-percent advantage; Since the delivery of Liangzhou and Jiazhou, the proportion has reached 28.

The imperial court pays first and then takes, and as long as it succeeds, it can turn the situation around to four or six; If it fails, its biggest signboard, that is, Tian Xin's credibility, will go bankrupt and will no longer be able to win the trust of the former emperor's former ministers. Girls are small

The credibility is bankrupt, and the position of the Jiangdong side may continue to waver and fall to the imperial court; At the same time, the neutral attitude of Zhao Yun, the four major governors of the Chinese army and the guard, will also be deflected, and a chain reaction will occur.

If all aspects of the imperial court are properly arranged...... In the case of not being able to receive Nanyang, with the help of Tianxin's reputation bankruptcy and the will of all parties is shaken, it may be possible to pull variables one after another, and there is a certain chance to form a situation of parity.

Although the probability of forming a five-to-five situation is small, it must be guarded against by man.

Now there is a fire in such an important place as the Stargazing Tower, and the responsibility is very great...... There are good reasons for this cross-jurisdictional military operation.

Zhang Wen blinked his eyes, speculating on Wenpin's possible response.

How much I hope that Wenpin can be a little more competitive and can reason with himself with his bones. If it's soft and everything is left unchecked, then it's okay.

All military operations will come to an abrupt end.

He pondered the city building.

The footsteps of Guo Youzhi, the protector of the northern expedition, hurried to Zhuge Qiao's bed, and there was already a stack of written papers on the side of the bed.

Guo Youzhi hurriedly reached out and grabbed Zhuge Qiao's hand, and shouted in pain: "Bo Song? ”

"I have lived up to my father's expectations, for the sake of greedy for a small profit, and for my own selfish feelings to anger Chen Gong, now it has become a big mistake, and it is too late to regret it."

Zhuge Qiao's voice paused, and he grabbed Guo Youzhi's hand tightly: "I'm afraid that the villain will not do things well, so that my father will misinterpret the incident and make a personal vendetta." Therefore, please ask the actor to testify to avoid misunderstandings. ”

Under the witness of several relatives, Guo Youzhi tearfully re-copied the letters for Zhuge Qiao, and recited them one by one to rule out possible misunderstandings.

After Zhuge Qiao confirmed that it was correct, he would hold the pen and barely sketch the handwriting and sign his name.

He lay on his back on the bed, his eyes half-open, a little relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth, and he remained still, unable to make a sound.

Guo Youzhi's tears stained his eyes, and he howled and cried with sorrow: "Bo Song, Bo Song! How do I explain to the prime minister? How cold is God, who does not have compassion for the good and the good! ”

One of Zhuge Qiao's relatives stepped forward and picked up the new letter copied by Guo Youzhi from the table, and counted thirteen pages and nearly a thousand words, three pages less than the original.

Without the slightest hesitation, he tore the pages apart, put them in his mouth to chew on, swallowed, tears running down his cheeks and dripping from his chin to the ground.

When Guo Youzhi saw it, he couldn't help crying even more sadly. He muttered about Bo Song, and then about the prime minister, and vaguely muttered something that only he could understand.

Even though he was crying hoarse and his eyes were red and swollen, he was still helped on his horse and ran towards Xuanchi outside the city.

It's just that Tian Ji is anxious, when Guo Yuzhi went out of the city, the transport ships had already rushed out, and Tian Ji was in the front team, and now the transport ships of the squadron and the rear team are impossible to stop.

Outside the north city of Xiangyang, a train of transport ships arrived at the embankment and landed in small boats to transfer officials.

Tian Ji unceremoniously boarded the Rong car, this Rong car has guards, left and right, and there are also domes, Tian Ji took out a monocular in the Rong car, gently pulled open to adjust the focus, and observed the Xiangyang North City Gate Tower and the door hole.

There was not a single official on the city wall, only the Han flag hanging around the gatehouse...... Below the gatehouse, the drawbridge was spread straight over the moat, the gate was wide open, and a dozen officials were sweeping the road, as if to wash the dust for important visitors.

Tian Ji watched it for a long time, and was extremely disappointed, and now he could only carry out the worst plan, and said with emotion: "Qing will be treacherous, but it is a pity that the people are hard,"

If the Nanyang problem cannot be solved by force, where should the 200,000 households in Nanyang go?

It is optimistically estimated that at least half of the people will sell their properties after the summer and autumn harvests and take refuge in Guanzhong along Wuguan Road!

Even if he did his best to replenish grain and medicine to the pavilion in Wuguan Road, how many people would die of illness after such a long-distance migration?

How much torture did the people who fled from Wuguan Road to Nanyang experience in the Sanfu Rebellion?

Even if the food is sufficient and there are pavilions along the way to receive them, the climate in the mountains is changeable, and people are physically exhausted after a long journey, and their spirits are not very good.

"Someone! To ask about the crime, first ask the captive beast to hide in Hannan, and the Xiangyang guard will not know the crime; Ask the stargazing tower again for the thief's crime of slacking off and frolicking the defenders of Xiangyang! ”
